This is my 9th year as an educator. I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the University of South Alabama. I have been in the realm of math for the past 4 years, as a math coach, 3rd grade math/science teacher, and 6th grade math teacher. In addition, I've also taught 2nd and 4th grade all subjects. I look forward to teaching 5th grade math and science this year! It's going to be a fun and academically productive year. As a teacher, my ultimate goal is to make a difference in the lives of children who are often forgotten, discounted, and who need empowerment, belief in themselves, and someone who believes in them. Furthermore, as a math teacher my goal is to hep every student build confidence in their math skills by fostering a growth mindset, encouraging problem-solving, and making math relevant and engaging. I aim to create a classroom where mistakes are seen as learning opportunities and every student feels capable of success.
